It is clear from the attached documents that the CIA -proprietary, International Armament Corporation (IAC), was indeed a DDP project, and that C/CISPD had the operational responsibility for it. However, all activities pertaining to CIA‘s continued relationship with Mr. Samuel Cummings, after he acquired IAC from CIA through purchase,havebeen handled by the Office of Logistics and the Office of General Counsel. 3. A review of the papers shows 3 documents signed in true name by Victor I. DITCHMAN (P) in his capacity as Assistant General Counsel. Since DITCHMAN is now the Project Manager of MHMUTUAL, documents containing his name cannot be made available to the investigating committees without removing DITCHMAN's true name or his identification in true name pertaining to the continued relationship and involvement of CIA with Sam Cummings and INTERARMCO. If it should become necessary to make DITCHMAN available for interviews or - testimony_on his involvement with these activities, it will have to be in alias in order to safeguard the continued operational security of Project MHMUTUAL. 4. It is requested that any-action pertaining to IAC or INTERARMCO, which might identify DITCHMAN in true name to outsiders, be checked with me personally before such action is undertaken.
